A large quantity of lottery tickets by two suspects were stolen from a Dundas Street convenience store in the west end of the city on Jan. 1 at about 5:30 a.m., Woodstock police said.

The first male suspect entered the store and asked for four tickets to be printed. After he was given the tickets, the man made his way to the back of the store, police said.

A second male then entered the store and asked the clerk for help to find an item. When the clerk was distracted, the first suspect removed a box containing lottery scratch tickets and fled the store. The second male left the store shortly afterwards.

The first suspect is a white male wearing an Air Jordan 23 sweater, jogging pants, a black toque and red and white shoes. The second suspect is a white male wearing a black jacket, grey/green sweater, dark coloured pants and a black ball cap.
